Ferdinand Marcos' return of $213 million...

MARCOS' MILLIONS.

July 19, 1986

ZURICH, SWITZERLAND — MARCOS' MILLIONS. Ferdinand Marcos' return of $213 million to the Philippines government has been greatly exaggerated. The former president was reported to be willing to turn over the money, but the cantonal prosecutor's office says it is not so. The money is part of what officials in Manila say could be as much as $1.5 billion held by Marcos in Swiss bank accounts. All Marcos' assets in Switzerland are frozen. The prosecutor's office says no money can be transferred until the Federal Court in Lusanne considers the matter and this could take some time.
